Looks like they're trying to show some F1 influence. Not bad, but a little overdone in my opinion.

It's beginning to look over done to me as well. Either way I can't wait until the 2020 models come out. Man that nose is going to be huge.
Evolution of the nose.

slk is to wanna-b SLR, but the cute cuddly version, that lip gotta go.

Meh - pretty bland. I didn't like it before and I don't like it any more now.

The CLK Black series is amazing.

This SLK, however, doesn't work much more than the current one. It does look like an SLR wannabe, at least in the front. The rest of the lines look like they at least want it to be closer to the flowing lines of the SL, whether 55, 65, or 550. But that doesn't work on a car this small.

As for "two front teeth"....
